Thirty-five 5K runs!

My year-end total for 5K+ runs is 35. My official goal was to run two, so this is definitely a win for me.

Today was my longest at 6.55K, and I’m pretty happy with that as it included some significant hills. I could have probably pushed to 8 but I am still learning the difference between “push up to your limit” and “uh oh you’ve gone past your limit and you will pay for it for the next week.”

My goals for 2026 are to continue to run 3 to 4 times per week (knees, ankles, and other creaky joints permitting) and to complete a 10K race by the end of the year.
